The ACLU works to ensure that everyone can make the best decision for themself and their family about whether and when to have a child without undue political interference.
UPDATE: On June 24, 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, dismantling the constitutional protections for abortion that have existed for nearly 50 years, allowing politicians to force women and other people who can become pregnant into second-class status.
Abortion providers have ceased abortion care in Wisconsin for fear of prosecution under an abortion ban from 1849.
We know how critical this issue is, and our team is prepared to fight back and we need your support more than ever.
If you or someone you know needs access to abortion care, Women's Medical Fund helps Wisconsinites navigate options.
